The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

How about this:

------------------------------------------------------------
Brief description:

This is known as the "land" attack: sending a TCP connection setup
request to a host, forged to appear to come from itself, causes some
systems to crash.
------------------------------------------------------------

Allegedly, linux kernels are not vulnerable.  Has anyone checked this,
and can anyone list kernel version numbers?

BTW, Sue, the version of the webpage I seem to get is dated "5 Nov
1997" at the bottom, and the list structure needs the following patch:
